We are happy to announce Jet Aerobatics is changing its name to, "Viper Classic Aircraft". Our aim of preserving & displaying classic jet aircraft does however remain the same.
The Jet Provost first flew on the 26th June 1954 and so 2025 will see the type reach its 71st anniversary. The JP served the RAF in its training roll for almost 40 years and though many found their way in to private ownership following retirement in 1993, the number of airworthy examples are becoming less with the passage of time. Those which are still airworthy can be seen regularly but as f today 20th May the current airworthy fleet as listed on G-Info stands at only 5 made up of 3 Mk3's & 2 Mk5's, it is however understood that Mk5 XW325 will be joining the airworthy fleet in the near future!
Having missed the whole of the 2023 show season due to an unforeseen and extended hangar input we eventually managed to return 324 to air show flying at the 2024 RAF Cosford show, she remained serviceable and without issue for the whole of 2024 and we've been working hard to prepare her for the upcoming 2025 season. We can happily report the aircraft has just emerged from her annual maintenance, is fully serviceable and ready for action.
For the 2025 season we will primarily be offering a single ship display but with the opportunity for pairs displays depending on the organisers needs and/or requirements. The pairs display is of course always subject to crew and aircraft availability. For those who have seen our previous displays you will appreciate we aim to provide a flowing and visually satisfying display which has been designed to satisfy both the Photographers and the viewing public alike.
We aim to continue providing a highly dynamic & exciting aerobatic display which has thrilled the British air show public for many years. We will again be combining aerobatics with some rather graceful flying to allow the photographers the chance to take some amazing and evocative photographs whilst at the same time showing the slow handling characteristics of this immaculate Jet Provost Mk5. We’re often told by the photographers that the slower, less dynamic displays are the best for photography, that said, we endeavour to cater for all tastes.
